King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today bridge demolition will occur on westbound U.S. 422 West, Sanatoga Road, and Porter Road in Lower Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County, and North Coventry Township, Chester County. This work is part of PennDOT’s $83.6 million project to reconstruct and improve approximately 2.1 miles of the expressway and replace bridges between the Sanatoga Interchange and Porter Road.
Drivers are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Monday, November 30, through Monday, December 21, Sanatoga Road will be closed and detoured 24/7 between High Street and Linfield Road. Drivers will be directed to use High Street, Evergreen Road, and Linfield Road.
- Monday, November 30, through Monday, December 14, from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, periodic lane closures with flagging will be in place weekdays on Porter Road between High Street and Sanatoga Station Road.
- Tuesday, December 1, through Thursday, December 3, from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM the following morning, a left lane closure with intermittent stoppages will be in place on westbound U.S. 422 between the Sanatoga (Evergreen Road) and Hanover Street interchanges.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas or along the detour route because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
The demolition operations will remove the middle sections of the bridges carrying U.S. 422 over Porter Road and Sanatoga Road. With eastbound and westbound traffic traveling on the completed outside sections of the freeway, Stage 4 construction began in early November to reconstruct the middle section of the roadway and complete the two bridges.
